Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1096314, member: 27"] We have all talked about ways to remember Orangeyes, to honor his life, the values he stood for and to pay tribute to someone so many loved. This post is to let everyone know that we are going to have a tournament to honor Dan and to raise money to fight ulcerative colitis/Crohn's disease, an awful disease that plagued Dan for the last 20 years or so of his life (perhaps longer). We have scheduled the tournament for Saturday August 30th at Foxfire, one of the best public courses in Onondaga County, located not far from the village of Baldwinsville. The starting time has not been determined yet...it will be determined in large part based on what the optimal time is for most of the people that plan to attend. Since the Villanova game will be played the night before, we are thinking an early afternoon start is probably going to make the most sense, so people can sleep late after the long day Friday. Cost hasn't been determined yet either but it will probably be in the $80 to $100 range. For that money, you will get a hot dog or burger at the turn, along with a drink, 18 holes of golf with a cart and a nice dinner afterward. We plan to have some special guests attend and a blind auction with some great gifts, many of which will be SU related. And we will celebrate the life of Orangeyes as well. We need to get a headcount of how many people will attend ASAP, along with your preferred starting time for the tournament, so if this is something that is of interest to you, please respond to this thread quickly. If you want to play but aren't a good golfer, sign up. Don't worry about it. This is designed to be a fun event. If you don't have a foursome, don't worry about it. We will pair you up with some good people. Those who don't golf but want to attend dinner can and will be accommodated for a much reduced fee. Let us know if you just want to attend the dinner and speakers afterwards. We are calling the event the Orangeyes Open. The plan is to make this an annual event that will bring board members and other friends of Dan together once a year. I hope to see many of you there. Regards. -Tom P.S. We are looking for a logo for the tournament. If one of the talented graphics designer on the board is willing to design one of us, it would be greatly appreciated.
